pontoon float tube transportation

[HandGunner]

If disasembled and deflated can i transport a typical sized and style pontoon float tube in a averege size car?

I have a NFO Escape and haul it around in my Chevy Cobalt. Usually partialy inflated.

so is that a yes? i have a nissan maxima trying to figure out if fully disasembled and deflated if it will fit in the trunk plus i can fold down the seats

Yes, you'll be just fine with the Maxima.

If you're purchasing it at a retailer, see if they have a floor model you can attempt to load.

im purchasing off a private seller its a odc 816 by creek co?

[ted4887]

Even better. Just tell him before purchasing you want to make sure it fits in your trunk.

I am having a hard time finding the dimensions for the boat, but if you're planning on disassembling the frame, then I can't imagine you'd have anything to worry about anyways.

If you do end up getting it, post a review. I think something like that would be fun to have to float some small rivers with. Nice cheap way to cover lots of water without the huge expense of a boat or expensive kayak.

yea... any idea wat a used one SHOULD go for? guy selling is asking 200 for it

[ted4887]

Seems like a fair price to me. It sold for $500+ new, and assuming it's in decent condition, $200 should be a good buy. There is one up for auction right now for $250 BIN.

[HandGunner]

bin?

[ted4887]

Buy it now

the private seller is not replying to my emails eitherway wouldnt it make sense to get a whole new pontoon float tube the creek company sport lt is new for only $200, has great reviews... how long could i expect it to last me?
